I tried in cirrus forum but it sucks there, so i will try here since they are pretty much the same car.

The car will start right up fine. When idleing you can here it miss once in a while. The minute you step on the gas the car just about dies, like its not getting fuel. You start to feather the gas and the rpms go right up just fine. But once you go to drive it, it spitts and sputters bad like not getting fuel.

I do not think its a fuel problems tho. Fuel pressure seems good, what i mean by seems good is because i do not have a pressure checker so i pumped it in a 20 oz bottle. I can fill the bottle up within probably 6 cranks maybe, so good fuel?

I changed plugs, wires, fuel filter, cap and rotor. Distributor was changed 1 year ago with a brand new one due to the car just dieing completly.

Thank you

Eric

EDIT- erased codes the other day, light came back on just trying to drive around the block. Put my code reader on and P0440 pops up. Thats the only code that popped up.

P0440 - evaporative emissions control system malfunction

Would this cause my problem?
